Hey guys since the DIABLO III Collectors Edition is sold out in AUS i am planning to buy it over in the UK and get it over here in AUS. MY question is, is there any difference at all with the UK version compared to AUS or they are completely identical? thanks.

Autti is right actually, it doesn't matter which version of the game you have.

As long as it's a boxed copy you will be able to play on EU when it launches, and NA when that launches. Locked regions include China and Korea only.

Moreover, if you have a digital US/AUS version of the game, you will not be able to play on EU while you wait for the NA servers to go up because the digital version does not unlock until 12:00 am pst.

Ya going to agree, eagle, you don't know what's up tbh. You can select which region you want to play in, download the version of the game client you want (English, Spanish, Japanese), and freely switch between auction houses. The limitations come with characters and account balance totals. The region you select will have access to 10 total characters and a designated total for your battle.net account to be used only for that regions AH.

For example you can have 10 characters on the NA server with $100 in your account balance while simultaneously having 10 characters and €250 on the EU server. You just can't mix and match which characters and currencies go where. Buy the game from wherever and whatever version you want..it doesn't matter.

Have you got a source confirming that? Because it seems possible that your ability to join the EU when it goes live could be related to account region as well.

Although they might not have bothered with that restriction seeing as it's unlikely that many boxed copies will be in peoples hands outside of the EU; but I am curious if anyone from Blizzard has specifically confirmed what you say.
